@digyoursoul Everything ICE does is sickening.
No idea there, but this is a genius idea for UK politics. All MPs getting paid exactly the 'median salary of their constituents' sounds great.
This means we can base tubercle and Brits salaries on median salary of their constituents, right?

To be fair, Trump's tax returns *were* leaked, and it's only fair he get the same compensation any American would under the circumstances: a year of free credit monitoring.

They played their way into the UK’s top chess division. Now they’re being told they have to add a man to compete there.
The She Plays to Win Lionesses A Team, the UK’s only all-female chess team, earned promotion to Division 1 of the Four Nations Chess League after years of proving they belong.

@mehdirhasan Same reason a self-professed Christian hates anyone who's not a Christian or white?
@dukepaaron I have no words.
RFK Jr was likely trying to use a COVID disinformation tactic, but he messed up the delivery.
To deceive, the right likes to say that *Emergency Room* visits fell in 2020.
While that stat is true, it’s because many people use the ER as primary care. But in 2020 they avoided the ER and delayed care due to social distancing.
Meanwhile, some hospitals had to increase intensive care beds by over 300% to due to an influx of critical COVID patients.
So in 2020, ER visits fell, but ICUs were full.
